although my ds (4) is at nursery they have started phonics sounds/reading (hence posting in primary). I am woefully ignorant about terms such as cvc/ decoding etc and simply do not know how to support teaching him to read other than reading with him lots. half of the children in the class are reading and taking home reading books and ds still cant 'sound' out letters although we have gone through the first two jolly phonics books. his teacher has said that he says the letter and mostlyh the sound but then five mins later goes 'blank' when she asks him the sound that 'n' makes for example and will make up a sound or say the sound for another letter.
i try to get him to realise he has to look at the letter, which he knows, but he doesnt 'get' what we are trying to do - both of us get frustrated and i dont want to put him off learning but dont want the teachers to think i'm not doing anything to support him either.
sorry this is waffly but does anyone know what i'm talking about?! can anyone help me to support him as I feel he is being left behind already!
